(43 of 50) of their games this season—highest percentage in the majors, ahead of Houston (83.3) and Milwaukee (82.9)…the Rays have a major-league-most 18 blown leads, ahead of the Phillies (17). Ê The Rays are 5-10 vs. left-handed starters, and 20-15 vs. RHP. Ê The Rays are 12-9 outside the AL East, and 13-16 within the division.

THAT’S THE WAY IT IS IN MINNESOTA—The Rays own a 19-7 (.731) re- cord all-time at Target Field, their best record at any AL park…the Rays boast their best marks at any AL ballpark here with a 3.14 ERA (229-IP, 80-ER), .297 batting avg., .357 OBP and .477 SLG…in their last visit here, June 2-5, 2016, they belted 11 HR, a club record for a single series, and 9 of those were hit by 3B Evan Longoria (5) and 1B Logan Morrison (4)…Longoria hit 7 HR in 7 games vs. MIN last season, most ever by a Ray against a non-division opponent, and has homered in 4 straight games at Target Field…he became the first player in club history to homer in each game of a 4-game series… Morrison has homered in 3 consecutive games at Target Field. Ê The Rays went 4-3 vs. the Twins in 2016 (1-2 home, 3-1 road)…Rays are 72-70 (.570) all-time. Ê The Rays are 6-2 this season when their opponent entered the game in first place (3-0 vs. DET, 1-2 at BAL, 2-0 vs. NYY)…the Twins cur- rently hold a 2.0-game lead in the AL Central. STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE—This is the Rays 14th straight game vs. an opponent with a .500 or better record, and looking ahead on the schedule their next 6 games (including tonight) are against teams currently above .500. THIS IS 50—The Rays have played 50 games, tied with the Angels for the most in the majors…they reached the 50-game mark with a .500 or better record for the seventh time in 10 seasons in the Rays era (since 2008)… this marks a 3-game improvement over 2016 and only one win shy of 2013 (26-24), the year of their last postseason appearance (won AL Wild Card)… their 227 runs scored are their most through 50 games since 2013 (247), and their 68 HR are 2nd in club history behind 2016 (71). PITCHING PROPERLY—Rays pitchers have gone 15 games without al- lowing double-digit hits, the 2nd-longest streak in club history…they went 19 straight from April 21–May 10, 2015…last time they yielded double-digit hits was May 9 vs. KC (12 in a 12-inning, 7-6 loss). Ê The Rays pitching staff enters tonight’s game with 17 consecutive scoreless innings…Rays have held their opponents to 4 runs or few- er in 5 straight games and 8 of their last 9.

Ê Yesterday’s start by RH Matt Andriese (8-IP) matched the longest by a Rays starter this season…Rays starters have gone 7 IP or more 9 times in their last 26 games, compared to 3 times in their first 24 games of the season. COLBY 4, ANGELS 0—Yesterday DH Colby Rasmus drove in all 4 of the Rays runs, on a 2-run single in the 1st and a 2-run double in the 5th…ac- cording to the Elias Sports Bureau, you have to go back a quarter-century to find the last major league game in at least 4 runs, accounting for all of his team’s runs scored, without hitting a home run…the last player to do that was Hall of Famer NYM Eddie Murray, on April 28, 1992 vs. HOU… Rasmus flipped the script followed by Murray, who hit a 2-run double in the 1st inning and a 2-run single in the 5th in the Mets 4-0 victory. Ê Elias notes that Rasmus batted with the bases full and 2 outs in both of his big hits yesterday…while his Rays teammates are 3-for-20 in such at-bats this season, Rasmus is 3-for-6. Ê Yesterday was the seventh time that a Rays player had 4 RBI or more and drove in all the team’s runs in a victory…Rasmus was the first to do it since Evan Longoria on Aug 9, 2011 vs. KC (4-0 win).

Ê The Rays 68 HR are tied with Houston and Oakland for 2nd in the AL, one shy of the AL- leading Yankees…they have 23 HR over the last 13 games, and 17 HR over the last 9 games. Ê The Rays lead the majors with 5 back-to- back home runs, already topping their 2016 total (four; three back-to-back and one back- to-back-to-back…prior to this year, the Rays had never hit more than 3 back-to-back home runs by the end of May (2001 and 2009). Ks FOR DAYS—The Rays offense has 521 SO, 85 more than any other team (MIL, 436) and 111 more than any other AL team (TEX, 410)…this marks the most strikeouts in major league history through 50 games…they are on pace for 1,688 SO, which would pass the major league record held by the 2016 Brewers (1,543)…last year the Rays had a club-record 1,482 SO, 2nd most in AL history…Rays have had 34 games with double-digit strikeouts, 12 more than any other team (Oakland, 22)…they are on pace for 110 double-digit strikeout games, which would break the major league record set by the 2013 Astros (80). DOES NOT COMPUTE—The Rays have outscored opponents 227-204 this season, but are an even 25-25…their +23 run differential ranks 3rd in the AL behind the Astros (+57) and Yankees (+56) and 7th in the majors, and is one better than the defending World Champion Cubs…in fact, dating back to the 2016 All-Star break, the Rays have gone 59-65 despite a +56 run differential (555-499, 6th best in the majors), the highest of any team in baseball with a losing record…their run differential over that span is better than, among other teams, the Indians (+32, 66-52 record) and Astros (+50, 68-53). Ê The Rays are 4-9 (.308) in one-run games, worst in the AL, and 10- 25 (.286) since the 2016 All-Star break. COREY CRUSHING—OF/DH Corey Dickerson leads the AL with 62 hits and 21 multi-hit games, and is tied with LAA Mike Trout for the AL lead with 116 total bases…he ranks among AL leaders with a .332 avg. (5th), .378 OBP (9th), .620 SLG (3rd), 34 runs (T-2nd), 14 2B (T-4th), 2 3B (T-5th), 12 HR (T-6th) and 28 XBH (2nd)…has 6 HR in his last 9 games. Ê His 5 leadoff homers tie HOU George Springer for most in the ma- jors and tie Rocco Baldelli in 2006 for the single-season club re- cord…has 11 HR out of the No. 1 spot in the lineup, tied with former teammate COL Charlie Blackmon for the major league lead.
